It is the object of this invention to provide a pair of goggles which will allow unobscured vision under conditions when the present styles of goggles are obscured, such as in 1 5 foggy or rainy weather, when moisture cola and b of one unittaken on line AA of Fig.1

showing the relative positions of the shields. Fig. 4 is aprojection of the shields a and b I '2 of ;one unit onto a vertical plane parallel to shield a.-

' Fig. 5 illustrates theblank from which the link 6 is formed, also the'formed link and the bolts and nuts by means of which the two units are attached to'the link 6. I 5 f i Fig. 6 il'lustrates'the blank from whichthe frames are formed. f k Fig.7 is'a cross section ofithe frame taken- I on line BB of Fig. 6, but shows the'frame formed and the cushion a attached. Y

Shields aand Z) arethin sheets of'any ma I terial, preferably. transparent. ,Shleld aoccupies an approximately vertical position and is oblique to thedirection of motion when the I line of vision coincides with the direction-of motion. 'The trailing edge of shleld a is preferably beveled parallel tothe lineof Vision to prevent the edge appearingblurred to the eye. Shield 7) occupies an approxi- .mately vertical position,is oblique to the direction of motion, and may or may not be parallel to shield a. Shield 6 occupiesa position wholly to the rear of shield at and wholly to the outsideof the line of vision where said line of visiontouches the trailing edge of shield at.

Shieldsa a'nd'b are held in their proper relative positions by a frame 0 havinga chanr nel formed in its front 'edge'to receive the shields. The shields a and b are held apart with the shields during the tightening of the a bolts in assembling. i

by spacers dd shown in Fig. 3 leaving a s pace or gap between the shields; The twoframes 00 are heldtogether by means of a link *6;

and two bolts with nuts. Tightening of" the bolts ff forces the shields a andb bwa'yefis from thelink a due to the curved form of the frame 0.} Thespacers do? are pivoted on the. pins jj-to allow the spacers to move slightly Various'widths ofxlink care provided, means of which the distance 'between'the twoga'ps may bevaried to suit the differing I widths -'between eyes of difierent wearersa' v d An adjustable strapis'attached tofthe outer 1 .en'dsOf the f'rames'topass around th'e head'l,

- 1 Inio pe'ration," the air encountered byshieldj a is given alateral motio11'5and' caused to jump thegap between'shields-a and b; The

air' directly in front of the gap. between shields a and b'uponencountering the air jdefl'ected by shield wisalso given a lateral I motion." 'Shield s'b-receives the deflected air above mentioned and further deflects it beyond the ends of the goggles. Shield 5 is 5 i staggered to the rear of shield a such that the air deflected from shield a will impinge upon the'front of shield Z2 rather than pass through the gap. Shield 5 is drawn laterally away,- from shield a such a distance that unobscured vision is allowed between the two shields a and b. When shields a and b havebecome obsoured vision is still possible between {the shields and without SlIl'fiOlGIltfllI' entering or water or 'beotherwise inconvenienced.
